The Promised Land (乐土) - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)[00:00:00]

Written by：Berry[00:00:01]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:03]

California on my mind[00:00:06]

I straddled that greyhound and rode him into Raleigh[00:00:08]

And on across Caroline[00:00:11]

We stopped in Charlotte we bypassed rock hill[00:00:14]

We never was a minute late[00:00:17]

We was 90 miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:19]

Rolling out of Georgia state[00:00:22]

We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle[00:00:25]

Halfway across Alabama[00:00:28]

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:31]

In downtown Birmingham[00:00:33]

Right away I bought me a through train ticket[00:00:48]

Crisscross Mississippi clean[00:00:50]

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:00:53]

Smoking into new Orleans[00:00:56]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:00:59]

Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:02]

There are people there who care a little about me[00:01:05]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:07]

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:11]

And put luggage in my hands[00:01:13]

And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:16]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:19]

Working on a t bone steak a la cart[00:01:34]

Flying over to the golden state[00:01:36]

When the pilot told us in 13 minutes[00:01:39]

He would set us at the terminal gate[00:01:42]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:45]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:48]

Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:51]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:54]

Los angels give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:57]

Tidewater 41009[00:02:00]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:03]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:05]
